Project: Write an Algorithm for a Dog Identification App


In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!

Note: Once you have completed all of the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to html, all of the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.

In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.

Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.

The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.


Why We're Here

In this notebook, you will make the first steps towards developing an algorithm that could be used as part of a mobile or web app. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input. If a dog is detected in the image, it will provide an estimate of the dog's breed. If a human is detected, it will provide an estimate of the dog breed that is most resembling. The image below displays potential sample output of your finished project (... but we expect that each student's algorithm will behave differently!).

Sample Dog Output

In this real-world setting, you will need to piece together a series of models to perform different tasks; for instance, the algorithm that detects humans in an image will be different from the CNN that infers dog breed. There are many points of possible failure, and no perfect algorithm exists. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience!

The Road Ahead

We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.

  • Step 0: Import Datasets
  • Step 1: Detect Humans
  • Step 2: Detect Dogs
  • Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)
  • Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)
  • Step 5: Write your Algorithm
  • Step 6: Test Your Algorithm

Step 0: Import Datasets

Make sure that you've downloaded the required human and dog datasets:

Note: if you are using the Udacity workspace, you DO NOT need to re-download these - they can be found in the /data folder as noted in the cell below.

  • Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /dog_images.

  • Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the home directory, at location /lfw.

Note: If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder.

In the code cell below, we save the file paths for both the human (LFW) dataset and dog dataset in the numpy arrays human_files and dog_files.

In [1]:
%matplotlib inline
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'
In [2]:
import numpy as np
from glob import glob
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use('seaborn-colorblind')

# load filenames for human and dog images
human_files = np.array(glob("/data/lfw/*/*"))
dog_files = np.array(glob("/data/dog_images/*/*/*"))

# print number of images in each dataset
print('There are %d total human images.' % len(human_files))
print('There are %d total dog images.' % len(dog_files))
There are 13233 total human images.
There are 8351 total dog images.

Step 1: Detect Humans

In this section, we use OpenCV's implementation of Haar feature-based cascade classifiers to detect human faces in images.

OpenCV provides many pre-trained face detectors, stored as XML files on github. We have downloaded one of these detectors and stored it in the haarcascades directory. In the next code cell, we demonstrate how to use this detector to find human faces in a sample image.

In [3]:
import cv2                
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt                        
%matplotlib inline                               

# extract pre-trained face detector
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')

# load color (BGR) image
img = cv2.imread(human_files[3])
# convert BGR image to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# find faces in image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)

# print number of faces detected in the image
print('Number of faces detected:', len(faces))

# get bounding box for each detected face
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
    # add bounding box to color image
    cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
    
# convert BGR image to RGB for plotting
cv_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

# display the image, along with bounding box
plt.imshow(cv_rgb)
plt.show()
Number of faces detected: 1

Before using any of the face detectors, it is standard procedure to convert the images to grayscale. The detectMultiScale function executes the classifier stored in face_cascade and takes the grayscale image as a parameter.

In the above code, faces is a numpy array of detected faces, where each row corresponds to a detected face. Each detected face is a 1D array with four entries that specifies the bounding box of the detected face. The first two entries in the array (extracted in the above code as x and y) specify the horizontal and vertical positions of the top left corner of the bounding box. The last two entries in the array (extracted here as w and h) specify the width and height of the box.

Write a Human Face Detector

We can use this procedure to write a function that returns True if a human face is detected in an image and False otherwise. This function, aptly named face_detector, takes a string-valued file path to an image as input and appears in the code block below.

In [4]:
# returns "True" if face is detected in image stored at img_path
def face_detector(img_path):
    img = cv2.imread(img_path)
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
    return len(faces) > 0

(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Human Face Detector

Question 1: Use the code cell below to test the performance of the face_detector function.

  • What percentage of the first 100 images in human_files have a detected human face?
  • What percentage of the first 100 images in dog_files have a detected human face?

Ideally, we would like 100% of human images with a detected face and 0% of dog images with a detected face. You will see that our algorithm falls short of this goal, but still gives acceptable performance. We extract the file paths for the first 100 images from each of the datasets and store them in the numpy arrays human_files_short and dog_files_short.

Answer: (You can print out your results and/or write your percentages in this cell)

  1. human_face percentage : 98%
  2. dog_face percentage : 17%
In [5]:
from tqdm import tqdm, tqdm_notebook

human_files_short = human_files[:100]
dog_files_short = dog_files[:100]

#-#-# Do NOT modify the code above this line. #-#-#

human_being = 0
animal_dog = 0


for i in tqdm_notebook(range(100)):
    if face_detector(human_files_short[i]) == True:   #if condition if image is in human cate then its true going to human_being
        human_being += 1
    if face_detector(dog_files_short[i]) == True:     #else animal_dog
        animal_dog += 1
        
print('human_face percentage : {}%'.format(human_being))
print('dog_face percentage : {}%'.format(animal_dog))
## TODO: Test the performance of the face_detector algorithm 
## on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.
human_face percentage : 98%
dog_face percentage : 17%

We suggest the face detector from OpenCV as a potential way to detect human images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other approaches, especially approaches that make use of deep learning :). Please use the code cell below to design and test your own face detection algorithm. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.

Step 2: Detect Dogs

In this section, we use a pre-trained model to detect dogs in images.

Given an image, this pre-trained VGG-16 model returns a prediction (derived from the 1000 possible categories in ImageNet) for the object that is contained in the image.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Making Predictions with a Pre-trained Model

In the next code cell, you will write a function that accepts a path to an image (such as 'dogImages/train/001.Affenpinscher/Affenpinscher_00001.jpg') as input and returns the index corresponding to the ImageNet class that is predicted by the pre-trained VGG-16 model. The output should always be an integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.

Before writing the function, make sure that you take the time to learn how to appropriately pre-process tensors for pre-trained models in the PyTorch documentation.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Write a Dog Detector

While looking at the dictionary, you will notice that the categories corresponding to dogs appear in an uninterrupted sequence and correspond to dictionary keys 151-268, inclusive, to include all categories from 'Chihuahua' to 'Mexican hairless'. Thus, in order to check to see if an image is predicted to contain a dog by the pre-trained VGG-16 model, we need only check if the pre-trained model predicts an index between 151 and 268 (inclusive).

Use these ideas to complete the dog_detector function below, which returns True if a dog is detected in an image (and False if not).

In [12]:
### returns "True" if a dog is detected in the image stored at img_path....

Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)

Now that we have functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, we need a way to predict breed from images. In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies dog breeds. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 10%. In Step 4 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to use transfer learning to create a CNN that attains greatly improved accuracy.

We mention that the task of assigning breed to dogs from images is considered exceptionally challenging. To see why, consider that even a human would have trouble distinguishing between a Brittany and a Welsh Springer Spaniel.

Brittany Welsh Springer Spaniel

It is not difficult to find other dog breed pairs with minimal inter-class variation (for instance, Curly-Coated Retrievers and American Water Spaniels).

Curly-Coated Retriever American Water Spaniel

Likewise, recall that labradors come in yellow, chocolate, and black. Your vision-based algorithm will have to conquer this high intra-class variation to determine how to classify all of these different shades as the same breed.

Yellow Labrador Chocolate Labrador Black Labrador

We also mention that random chance presents an exceptionally low bar: setting aside the fact that the classes are slightly imabalanced, a random guess will provide a correct answer roughly 1 in 133 times, which corresponds to an accuracy of less than 1%.

Remember that the practice is far ahead of the theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dog_images/train, dog_images/valid, and dog_images/test, respectively). You may find this documentation on custom datasets to be a useful resource. If you are interested in augmenting your training and/or validation data, check out the wide variety of transforms!

loaders_scratch = {'train': train_loader, 'valid': valid_loader, 'test': test_loader}

Question 3: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.

  • How does your code resize the images (by cropping, stretching, etc)? What size did you pick for the input tensor, and why?
  • Did you decide to augment the dataset? If so, how (through translations, flips, rotations, etc)? If not, why not?

Answer: 1. Resizing image to 255, 255 px and then cropping it from center to 224 px. Using this size for better performance of model.

  1. Randomly cropping the the part of image and flipping the imahe horizontaly and then use normalization technique on image in simply manner.

Question 4: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.

Answer: 1.The CNN architecture I choose the 5 convolution neural network layers with kernel size 3 and padding 1 each followed by a MaxPooling of kernel size 3 and stride 1 to reduce the size in half. 2.Basically First 3 layers detect the edges, color and shape of the dog and rest has detect the complex features like dog face layout, dogs eyes like that. 3.CNN, maxpooling layer plays an very important role with better accuracy. 4.Then flatten the images for fully connected layers and the two fully connected layers is used with 30% of dropout.

Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)

You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify dog breed from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).

If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.

In [25]:
loaders_transfer = loaders_scratch.copy()

(IMPLEMENTATION) Model Architecture

Use transfer learning to create a CNN to classify dog breed. Use the code cell below, and save your initialized model as the variable model_transfer.

Question 5: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.

Answer:

  1. Simply I used the resnet50 and it has small in size as comapred to other and perform best as per knowlege.
  2. ResNet also performing best for transfer modelling on classification problem.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Loss Function and Optimizer

Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_transfer, and the optimizer as optimizer_transfer below.

In [28]:
import torch.optim as optim 

criterion_transfer = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()  
optimizer_transfer = optim.Adam(model_transfer.fc.parameters(), lr = 0.001)

(IMPLEMENTATION) Train and Validate the Model

Train and validate your model in the code cell below. Save the final model parameters at filepath 'model_transfer.pt'.

In [30]:
# train the model
model_transfer = model_transfer = train(10, loaders_scratch, model_transfer, optimizer_transfer, criterion_transfer, use_cuda, 'model_transfer.pt')

# load the model that got the best validation accuracy (uncomment the line below)
#model_transfer.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer.pt'))
Epoch: 1 	Training Loss: 1.435983 	Validation Loss: 0.682869
Saving model...
Epoch: 2 	Training Loss: 1.144769 	Validation Loss: 0.644794
Saving model...
Epoch: 3 	Training Loss: 0.988769 	Validation Loss: 0.588585
Saving model...
Epoch: 4 	Training Loss: 0.947662 	Validation Loss: 0.577658
Saving model...
Epoch: 5 	Training Loss: 0.927709 	Validation Loss: 0.586955
Epoch: 6 	Training Loss: 0.905801 	Validation Loss: 0.529720
Saving model...
Epoch: 7 	Training Loss: 0.903512 	Validation Loss: 0.543365
Epoch: 8 	Training Loss: 0.852507 	Validation Loss: 0.632996
Epoch: 9 	Training Loss: 0.869025 	Validation Loss: 0.616248
Epoch: 10 	Training Loss: 0.841539 	Validation Loss: 0.597846

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model

Try out your model on the test dataset of dog images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 60%.

In [31]:
test(loaders_transfer, model_transfer, criterion_transfer, use_cuda)
Test Loss: 0.612338


Test Accuracy: 82% (691/836)

(IMPLEMENTATION) Predict Dog Breed with the Model

Write a function that takes an image path as input and returns the dog breed (Affenpinscher, Afghan hound, etc) that is predicted by your model.

In [60]:
### TODO: Write a function that takes a path to an image as input
### and returns the dog breed that is predicted by the model.

# list of class names by index, i.e. a name can be accessed like class_names[0]
class_names = [item[4:].replace("_", " ") for item in loaders_transfer['train'].dataset.classes]

def predict_breed_transfer(img_path):
    # load the image and return the predicted breed
    transform =transforms.Compose([
             transforms.Resize(size=(224,224)),
             transforms.ToTensor()])
    image = Image.open(img_path)
    image_1 = transform(image).unsqueeze(0)
    if use_cuda:
        image_1 = image_1.cuda()
    output = model_transfer(image_1)
    _, pred = torch.max(output, 1)
    breed = class_names[pred.item()]
    return breed

Step 5: Write your Algorithm

Write an algorithm that accepts a file path to an image and first determines whether the image contains a human, dog, or neither. Then,

  • if a dog is detected in the image, return the predicted breed.
  • if a human is detected in the image, return the resembling dog breed.
  • if neither is detected in the image, provide output that indicates an error.

You are welcome to write your own functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, but feel free to use the face_detector and human_detector functions developed above. You are required to use your CNN from Step 4 to predict dog breed.

Some sample output for our algorithm is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!

Sample Human Output

(IMPLEMENTATION) Write your Algorithm

In [65]:
def run_app(img_path):
    image = Image.open(img_path)
    plt.imshow(image)
    plt.show()
    if dog_detector(img_path):
        dog_breed =predict_breed_transfer(img_path)
        print("Hello dog! You are a", dog_breed, ':) ')
        
    elif face_detector(img_path):
        dog_breed =predict_breed_transfer(img_path)
        print("Hello Human ", dog_breed)
    else: 
        print("Your are not a dog nor a human.... ")
In [66]:
run_app(dog_files[31])
Hello dog! You are a Mastiff :) 

Step 6: Test Your Algorithm

In this section, you will take your new algorithm for a spin! What kind of dog does the algorithm think that you look like? If you have a dog, does it predict your dog's breed accurately? If you have a cat, does it mistakenly think that your cat is a dog?

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test Your Algorithm on Sample Images!

Test your algorithm at least six images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like. Use at least two human and two dog images.

Question 6: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.

Answer: (Three possible points for improvement)

  1. Using the another model for dog detection.
  2. Improved the accuracy seems better means even more than before.
  3. needs to recheck all things in the dataset labelling.
  4. Hyper tuning needed.
In [67]:
human_files = np.array(glob("/data/lfw/*/*"))
dog_files = np.array(glob("/data/dog_images/*/*/*"))
## suggested code, below
for file in np.hstack((human_files[1:5], dog_files[2:7])):
    run_app(file)
Hello Human  Japanese chin
Hello Human  Bichon frise
Hello Human  Beagle
Hello Human  Kerry blue terrier
Your are not a dog nor a human.... 
Hello dog! You are a Mastiff :) 
Hello dog! You are a Chinese shar-pei :) 
Hello dog! You are a Mastiff :) 
Your are not a dog nor a human....
